Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History Of Metal
By Jon Wiederhorn & Katherine Turman -

Compiled from over 400 interviews conducted by respected music
journalists Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman,
'The Definitive Oral History of Metal' is a
chronological history of heavy metal, told through the words of the
men and women who created it, played it, re-invented it, and
continue to rock it.

From the creation of Black Sabbath in the late 1960s, to Judas
Priest's development of the leather-and-studs look, to Metallica
introducing the world to thrash, to the inception of Ozzfest, to
Faith No More accidentally creating the first hybrid of rap and
metal, to the provocative exploits of the Sunset Strip scene, to
the death and destruction surrounding Norwegian black metal, Louder
Than Hell gets to the meat of the metal matter.
